You don't have to write your crawlers to even work with HTTP 1.1; all the web servers out there will respond just fine to HTTP 1.0 requests, even through HTTP 1

You don't have to write your crawlers to even work with HTTP 1.1; all the web servers out there will respond just fine to HTTP 1.0 requests, even through HTTP 1.1 is ubiquitous and has been in use for over a decade now. What makes you think that SPDY-enabled web servers won't be compatible with HTTP?
- silentOpen 15y agoSPDY may be technically sound but... My objection to this turn of events is almost entirely related to the behavior of Google and their search deal with Mozilla. Mozilla has compromised their principles again and again for Google and it is accelerating. I'm tired of Google's doublespeak and lies about "Open Web" and open standards. If SPDY takes off, we will all have to think about supporting it and if it's built correctly that will be fine. I seriously have my doubts. It would have been much less suspicious if the second browser to adopt SPDY was Safari or IE. Right now, it looks like Google is essentially bribing an "independent" browser vendor to implement their half-baked standards so they can turn around and claim "it's a web standard!". It's like 1999 but now with corporate protectorates!
